Beautiful reservoir with interesting vegetation around it. If you're already in the area anyway, you can do a little lap here.

The dam dams the River Homem into a reservoir. The dam and the associated reservoir are located on the edge of the Peneda-Gerês National Park. About 1 km southeast of the dam is the municipality of Campo do Gerês.
The project to build the dam began in 1966. The construction was completed in 1972. In addition to generating electricity, the dam also serves as flood protection.translated by•February 4, 2024
